Every year, we celebrate "National Heroes' Day" to pay homage to our National Heroes. This is observed every fourth Monday of August which was initially celebrated every 30th of November. This was moved on its current date since November 30 coincided on Andres Bonifacio's birth anniversary, the founder of Katipunan.

Our country's freedom was achieved due to the noble deeds of our heroes(known and unknown). And as we celebrate, let us remember the heroes who are not with us anymore, let us honor our modern-day heroes including our Overseas Filipino Workers.

Maraming Salamat Po!
